Enjoy the Benefits of a Winter Walk in Nature
As winter settles in it can be tempting to hibernate inside and avoid going outside into the cold. However, one of the best ways to avoid letting the longer nights and darker days from getting you down is to add some gentle outdoor movement into your day.
This exposure to natural light boosts the release of your “feel-good” hormones which combats the symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
According to Forestry England, spending time in nature supports mental health, reduces anxiety, and stimulates the mind.
